Abstract

Stunting is a condition of growth failure in toddlers caused by chronic malnutrition, recurrent infections, and environmental factors during the critical first 1,000 days of life. Sleep patterns and sleep quality in toddlers are among the risk factors for stunting. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sleep patterns (duration, efficiency, and sleep disturbances) and the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24–59 months, as well as to identify factors influencing sleep quality among stunted toddlers in the working area of Pandrah Public Health Center, Bireuen District. This research uses a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) and anthropometric measurements of toddlers to determine stunting status. The sample consisted of toddlers aged 24–59 months selected through purposive sampling from the health center’s working area. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test to examine the association between sleep pattern and sleep quality variables with stunting incidence. The results showed that most of the studied toddlers were aged 3.00–4.11 years with a relatively balanced gender distribution. The majority had regular sleep patterns, but many demonstrated poor sleep quality. Chi-Square test results indicated a significant association between sleep patterns and sleep quality with stunting incidence in toddlers (p < 0.005). The study concludes that there is a significant relationship between sleep patterns and sleep quality with stunting among toddlers. Therefore, behavior-based interventions, such as educating parents about consistent sleep routines and creating a conducive sleep environment, should be considered as part of stunting prevention programs.

Abstract

Human resources (HR) may be impacted by nutrient shortages, which may lead to stunting or short height (shortnes). Some 33.4% of West Aceh's population will experience stunting in the year 2023. In 2023, 42 instances of stunting were documented in the subdistrict by the Johan Pahlawan Health Centre UPTD. Toddler stunting in the Johan Pahlawan Health Centre working area, District, West Aceh Regency is investigated in this study. Factors such as economic level, parenting styles, nursing practices, knowledge of the mother, and full basic immunisation are considered. An empirical investigation is used in this situation. Included in the research were 84 individuals, 42 of whom served as case and 42 as control. Factors linked to the research included economic status, parenting style, nursing exclusively, complete basic vaccination, and maternal awareness. In 2023, the prevalence of stunted toddlers in the Johan Pahalawan Community Health Centre operating area, Johan Pahlawan District, West Aceh Regency was impacted by many factors. The most important of them was the presence or absence of exclusive breastfeeding, which had the biggest effect (OR= 12.105). The significance of exclusive breastfeeding and the prevention of stunting should be emphasised to pregnant women and mothers with toddlers via the continued education, intervention, counselling, and provision of films, brochures, and other brief messages by community health centres.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in regions with persistent socio-economic disparities such as West Aceh District. This condition reflects not only chronic undernutrition during the first 1,000 days of life but also the complex interaction of social, environmental, and health system factors. Therefore, a comprehensive approach that integrates socio-demographic determinants with broader development perspectives is required. This study aimed to analyze the influence of socio-demographic factors, environmental conditions, and access to health services on stunting among children aged 6–24 months in West Aceh District, Indonesia, while interpreting the findings within the framework of the Three Domains of Pancasila: value (mental-cultural), governance (institutional-political), and welfare (material-technological).This study employed an analytical cross-sectional design involving 80 children aged 6–24 months. Data were collected through structured interviews using validated questionnaires covering socio-demographic characteristics (maternal education, occupation, and socio-economic status), environmental conditions (sanitation, clean water access, and housing density), and access to health services (distance, affordability, and family support). Child growth status was assessed using Length-for-Age Z-score (LAZ) based on WHO standards. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate logistic regression analyses.The results showed that maternal education, socio-economic status, sanitation, and access to health services were significantly associated with stunting (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis identified sanitation and socio-economic status as the most dominant determinants. These findings indicate that stunting is shaped by multidimensional factors that extend beyond nutritional intake alone.From the perspective of the Three Domains of Pancasila, these results highlight the importance of strengthening community awareness and cultural practices related to nutrition (value domain), improving equitable access to health services (governance domain), and enhancing living conditions and environmental health (welfare domain). Therefore, stunting prevention requires an integrated, context-specific approach that aligns public health interventions with socio-cultural values and local development systems
